The fork also had its own drama, resulting in one of the more active developers of the fork, plus the guy who helped kick off the original drama, splitting off to create yet another fork. Both forks are still active, I believe. It was all very silly

Most of it was silly, but being banned on github for a reasonable objection is still very tyrannical.
From what I recall, based on what a Godot developer wrote at the time, nobody got banned from GitHub for "a reasonable objection". The only people who got banned from GitHub were those who posted abuse there, after a few people had gotten blocked by the Godot Twitter account
The problem here is the definition of abuse. And I don't mean to say that I'm 100% sure Godot overstepped in the github ban cases, but if they can ban people for criticizing them I wouldn't be surprised if they overstepped there too.
